The wind blowing from the sea is refreshing and comfortable, driving away the sweltering summer heat. The straight windway is made of regular bluestone, and wooden hedges are built on both sides, and beyond the fence are soft hills and grasslands, where a herd of lazy cattle and sheep are grazing on the tender grass.

The small clearing on the right in front is the town's cemetery, which is not as eerie as it is at night, with the occasional thrush or two perched on the tombstone, adding to the fresh aura.

Yang Qingnan thought about things while walking, and sometimes stopped to look at the bamboo hut in the distance.

Just a few minutes ago, he was still sure that they had stayed in the Green Forest Garden and had never left. It's ridiculous to say, I heard that Alain Bu got into a fight with a guy when he went to buy raw beef, and in the end he not only didn't buy it, but was also counted down by the guy. Yang Qingnan only heard a rough idea, so he didn't particularly care.

When he arrived, they had already set up a barbecue grill by the stream, and the meat, vegetarian dishes and spices were ready.

"Yo, Uncle Nan." The first to say hello was Kazi.

Yang Qingnan answered, and then sat down next to him. It hadn't been long since I finished the noon meal, but I felt hungry again when I smelled the fragrance. As soon as he looked at Arambu, he was chewing on one of his elbows silently, as if he had a fire in his belly.

"Why are you arguing about it, maybe I can help you comment?" He asked, picking up the roasted duck wings.

"Cut, I don't want to trouble him anymore."

"Okay then." Yang Qingnan shrugged his shoulders and counted the raw material on the steel plate, "Huh? Chickens, ducks, sheep, pigs, fish, cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, you really bought a little bit of everything? ”

"Yes, the advantage of a few of us is that we are not picky eaters."

"Huh, really? You've eaten all the chicken butts. ”

"What, chicken butts aren't delicious."

He stole a glance at Arambu, his expression remained the same, his gaze kept drifting beyond the barbecue grill, could he still be thinking about the past? He shouldn't hold such a grudge, right?

"Come on, Xiaomo, don't always eat vegetables, eat some meat." Yang Qingnan sandwiched a piece of fine mutton to her.

"Oh, sandwich tofu."

He saw that the chicken and duck were almost gone, so he added pork to the grill net, smeared a little hot sauce with a brush, and sprinkled with sesame seeds, which had an attractive aroma. After Alain Bu finished nibbling on the pork knuckle, he pinched up another piece of fragrant wings and continued to gnaw on it, still not saying a word.

After eating and eating, Yang Qingnan relinquished control of the barbecue grill, and then Kazi and Po Luomo removed the metal mesh, picked up the small pot and began to cook. At this time, Alain Bu snorted and drank a bottle of green tea and gave a beautiful burp, breaking the otherwise calm atmosphere.

"The road is completely locked."

It turned out that he had been thinking about this kind of thing, and Yang Qingnan realized that the place he was staring at was also the general direction of the island.

"Huh? If you can't complete the task, can't you go back to the errand? ”

"It's not a formal mission, it's just a hassle." "If we don't, the town of Rad might disappear from the map." ”

"But aren't you here to enjoy the holidays? Since it's not a task, why don't you just leave it alone? Even if you disappear, it should not be your responsibility. ”

"You can easily say that the current guild has a complete evaluation system, which is scored online by the client, and summarized and submitted by the electronic processing system, involving elements including task completion, time, expenses, etc., which are linked to remuneration and value. I don't know what kind of friendship the president has with those Usa tribes, and it will be very troublesome if he has already sent a commission and appointed us. ”

"I see, that means you're going to intervene in everything that involves non-humans, right?"

Faced with doubts, Alain Bu neither admitted nor denied it, he just smiled lightly and said, "So you shouldn't follow us anymore, so as not to get yourself into trouble." ”

"What if I can provide a clue?"

In fact, Yang Qingnan himself couldn't figure out why he wanted to help them, and if he took 10,000 steps back, there was no need for an ordinary person to have anything to do with supernatural events. But he just wanted to know, what did he want to get from so many years of wild exploration? Maybe it's just to get closer to the unknown world other than the natural world and the human world?

"What's the clue?" He's getting a little better.

Yang Qingnan took out a dark brown key and said, "This is the little key that the butler gave me, the Rade motorboat." ”

"Okay, let's leave early tomorrow morning and prepare tonight." A somewhat relieved Alan Bu opened his hand to snatch the key, and Kazi and Poromo looked at it curiously.

He nodded and said, "When I find out the location of the motorboat, it should be on the North Mountain side." ”

The golden sun is shining on the rocky beach, the trees are thick, and the butterflies and bees are flapping their wings and singing proudly, so they are also enjoying a wonderful summer time.

Yang Qingnan, who was dressed in a light-colored suit, looked at the sea from afar with the help of his glasses, the dark blue sea was as calm as ever, and the horizon showed a perfect straight line.

"If you look at it this way, you really can't see where the island is."

Alan Bu pushed the motorboat into the water, turned to him and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to go." ”

The white motorboat was small enough to seat two people, it was a little old, and the railing handles were rusty. Kazi was a little worried about whether it would be able to carry people, and a distance of more than a dozen nautical miles was no joke.

Unfortunately, none of the four of them knew anything about equipment, and they had no experience driving a marine vehicle. There are still some repair tools and instruction manuals in the trunk of it, and after reading it, the two adults also think that it is not very difficult, but it is easier than driving a motorcycle.

Yang Qingnan really wanted to go to sea, but the other side of the sea was a place that no one wanted to set foot in, and only these three extraordinary people in front of him could endure it.

They didn't have much luggage, a few clothes and bath sets, and some food, and the uninformed might have thought they were traveling. Yang Qingnan didn't plan to know what they had brought, but Po Luomo turned everything out in front of him and put them back one by one, and said that the canvas bag that Alan Bu bought was too small.

"These snacks...... Kazi, are you serious? ”

"Let it be." Arambu took his words, "That guy can be full with snacks." ”

"How many days will you be on the island? It's better to prepare a tent to be safe. ”

"No, the dinghy can't hold so many things, and if you put it again, it may sink." He checked the tank and the map again, "And that one is not a desert island, nor is it a no-man's land...... We will be back soon. ”

That toneless tone implied stoicism, there were too many uncertainties on the island, what was Alain Bu carrying on his body?

"Okay, all I can say is, I wish you all the best." Yang Qingnan stared at a certain point above his head, reached out and grabbed the void, and a ball the size of a soybean appeared in his palm.

"What is this?"

"Bring this thing, it's a miniature camera connected to a memory that can transmit video to your phone, a little more advanced than the worm."

"Hmph, that's fine."

Alain Bu got into the motorboat, and a series of violent roars sounded, and it seemed that the horsepower was still sufficient. Poromo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took the initiative to fasten his belt, and Kazi leaned in the gap behind him.

The motorboat slowly sailed away from the shore, spitting out a cloud of black and muddy exhaust fumes. Yang Qingnan watched it go away, and then took out the binoculars and looked at the point where the motorboat was pointing. He scratched the itchy wing of his nose and left the small rocky beach.
